AJ Allen's top 5 movies: 1 - Gigli 2 - Battlefield Earth 3 - Glitter 4 - War of the Worlds(2025) 5 - Batman and Robin

Good, good, let the hate floooow through you. I am glad, though, I am happy to see the league under-rate this team. If we stay reasonably healthy and Zach performs at a higher level than the last 2 years, this will be the best team we've put on the field since 21 imo.

They are gonna keep cutting Kornelson until they get it right. I retired 5 times until I go it right.

In the same way that anyone could go line up at DE... just because they put him there doesn't mean he's any good at it. As a linebacker and special teamer he's good, to very good... but he's not a DE and that's a horrible justification for keeping him around. My opinion on building a roster: start with your best Canadians in starting positions and fill in everything else around them ensuring that you have sufficient depth at all positions to account for rotations and the event of in game injuries.

Zach would be in concussion protocol every week. Jake would still be starting. Cuz that’s Broxxton plus ceresna really. Or it’s 1 plus like nield. So I dunno. Lawler goes MIA for long stretches.

I think Walters has more freedom to build a complete roster. That kind of cash tied up in a non-QB really limits what you can do. Good on Kenny for getting the bag though.

Why don't other teams give their running back the ball more? Are they stupid?

Kenny is an unreal talent and I loved watching him play. Consistent he ain't though. 2025 was is first season playing every game. Letting someone walk to become the highest paid non-QB in the league isn't the same thing as saying you don't want him on your team.

Good for Kenny. Glad he's making bank if he's going to play somewhere else. Will be interesting to see how that 3rd year as the highest paid non-QB goes for a 34 year old receiver.

Yup and is not the saying ‘you hate him cuz you ain’t him’ appropriate here?

Brady does all that despite the defence knowing this is going to happen and keying in oh him. Not the same for Rankin or Mills.

Ayers can play DE on paper but not in reality. I'm going to be pissed when we keep Ayers and Kyrie on the roster at the expense of other positions.

In 6 seasons, he's only played 18 games once. He played 12/18 in Edmonton and 22/36 in his second stint here. He also had 5 games under 50 yards in those 12 he played with Edmonton. He lights the world on fire for 5-ish games in a year. Misses 1/3 of the games, and tends to be average in the remaining 1/3 ish. In Dalton's first 2 years here, he had 8 games under 50, only 1 was under 30, though, and only 1 was a single catch game. He still gave us the 5-ish games a season of pure dominance, but in the remaining nearly half a season, he was a strong, steady producer.

Kenny is a one of a kind talent...You can't question his ability BUT a few years ago the Esks paid him a bundle to toil for them...As I remember he didn't finish the season because of injury....That's always a worry for every player but every player isn't being paid 333,000 ducats plus to perform...I hope I haven't hexed Kenny ...really like the guy and hope he fills the bill for them BUT that's a lot of cash to tie up in one player...Good luck Lawler ...except when he's trying to carve- up our db's

4th ranked? Weird. Best nine win team ever.

With all great respect to our Zach and Strev men, it’s a wrinkle we have been lacking for some time now. Would be fantastic to have it back.

Remember when a qb getting a million dollar contract was scandalous? Jeepers that's a lot of money for a receiver. Dude is good no question but.... it's not like he's a Stegall or Simon type receiver.

Honestly, I think you could go either way and justify it with ease. At the end of the day, you are gonna overpay a couple of guys no matter what. Kenny is the type of player I would want to overpay for. That type of skill set is incredibly valuable in any league or level of football. Dominant WR who can go up and get most any ball in his rough direction? Is Poor Man Randy Moss? Want that kind of player. Now the person behind that is much harder. While I don't consider him a bad guy or toxic. But the lack of loyalty, the inability to stay healthy, and the lackadaisical approach he had to sorting out his passport issues are huge red flags. Especially after the team stood behind him with his DUI suspension. I love how he plays, but I would not trust him as a franchise cornerstone.

Lawler is great... Happy that he's happy. But let's simmer the hyperbole a little bit. He would have been helpful last year with no Schoen, but we can win without him.

I dunno. Did Hamilton win the grey cup? Argument could be made that paying 1 receiver that much is a detriment to the rest of the team. He’s 1 receiver out of 5 or 6 who line up. To justify that money you almost have to throw him the ball all game long every game and while that works occasionally it doesn’t all the time. That’s great for Kenny but the QB needs to be upright to throw him the ball and I feel the cats oline will once again be their downfall. And D. Cats are all O. Bo throws for 5000 yards and they lose.

and he doesn't run like a battering ram...runs elusive....so more sustainable

yup...A guy who can kick it outta FG range from inside your 20...why would you not want that if he can place shorter punts too

good on Kenny.....gotta make that Bank when you can...Sure wish he was still here but oh well

Seems to me this is a linebacker who is thinking about it in terms of who is going to be more elusive. Brady isn't that elusive, he'll just run you over.

putz...I think he over rated as well...decent but not the start many make him out to be BO gets the ball a lot...yeah cause he gets it done...and like you said...best avg yards per carry...yards after contact..etc....You have a workhorse bell-cow back...you use him. The others don't get used as much because.....well they don't get it done as consistently...it's as simple as that

Yeah, thats the only thing the clown had to say about Oliveira, "They give him the ball a ton". Yeah we do, and he still leads the league in yards per carry every freaking year(including last season). He also talks about how Rankin and Mills are so powerful and love contact, meanwhile Oliveira leads the league every year in yards after contact, and game in game out runs over guys like they owe him money. I love all these CFL.ca rankings where we continually get disrespected. Keep it up assclowns. Cant wait to punch the league in their collective cocky mouths.

CFL.caMMQB: Ranking the CFL's top defensive backs - CFL.caWho are the CFL's top defensive backs? CFL.ca's Pat Steinberg counts them down in this week's MMQB.Posted as rage bait for the Kramdi haters lol

with our Canadian linebackers...Kelly...possibly Stuart for more ST work than anything we don't really need to DI a LB per say, and we can also roster 2 import DT's...we have before and save for the last 2 yrs of roster stupidity should easily be able to....If Bailey and Gatkouth show they can be used in rotation then we may just roster 1 import end, seeing as Ceresna can play off edge. But I'd like to see us dress just Ceresna as no import DT showed anything, and have both Jenkins and Dixon on roster, as Dixon can easily slide inside, and also a WJ..Dixon..Ceresna..Jenkins front in some sets would be a real headache for opposing offences...And a 4 man base of Lawson and Ceresna in the middle and any 2 of WJ/Jenkins/Dixon/Bailey/Gatkouth is light yrs ahead of anything we put out there the last 2 yrs...and would easily look 2019'ish There not gonna be room for all of Wilson/Jones/Woodbey/Ayers on active roster. Only way we can do that is if we go with the belief that one of Ball..Kelly...Stuart or Hallett is trusted at safety and an injury to a DB we slide Kramdi to SAM and shift Griffin to DB as he can play all the spots...and well. The one guy who may be the odd man out and 1 gamed all yr is Allen unless he grabs the corner job

I think Perkins is the best option at QB2 for now...and if he is hope he gets real reps throughout the season too, as it will just get him acclimated that much quicker....but for his minimal time here...and working behind and with garbage for most part looked pretty comfortable I not as anti arm strength against hi as some...he has more than an adequate arm, and you dont need a howitzer to succeed, you need touch...be able to throw a guy open and place a ball....if he can master that, to go with his ability on the ground and I can see him being lethal with that up here we should be just fine as TE learns and develops And with this maybe being ZC swan song a more developed and capable Perkins who could possibly shows he is a legit starter rolling into 2027 camp allows us to not force feed TE into the fracass if he not really quite ready yet...and destroying his confidence...dude is young and licked up for 3 yrs...no need to rush it...let him grab it legitimately

He also seems healthy for the first time in a long time. Im sure he will bounce back from the last two years, just a question of what is his current top level of performance. I think his peak performance capability is something like the early 2ks tier QBs. Sporadic high passing yards out put, high 2 and out count, lots of tds, close to the same amount of pics.

We all know the reasons why ZC had a resurgence after he came here in 2019. Top notch pass pro, a great running game and sure-handed receivers who also played the game tough as nails and complimented his style of play. The past 2 seasons, they have not provided him with anything even close to that. In fact, the offensive rostering and planning has been borderline inexplicable.

Pretty much is tho. Bombers didn’t want to pay him as much as Hamilton did. Here’s reality. The bombers could have offered 300,000 dollars per. Hamilton would offer 301,000. Lawler takes the 301. That’s the guy he is. He’s a great player for 1/3 of the season. He’s just not for the other 2/3rds. The spectacular catches don’t happen every game. But good for him. Wonder how much is guaranteed cuz almost 400 on a 34 yr old in 3 years might not age well.

No one can match the turtle man.

(Paraphrased) When asked which would be worse, finding out his wife was cheating on him, or coaching a 9 win NHL team. Tom McVie replied: The team...At least I could tell my wife to stop.

agreed...assess the roster, put it to task in TC and pick the 12 best on each side within ratio....then evaluate of you have sufficient coverage for injury at a Canadian position, and or ability to fill with an American back-up/DA and again have capable Canadian back-up that can slide in elsewhere, and not degrading the on field product in game to a pityful level We have seemed to have gotten away from that and filled roster with guys not capable of developing or stepping in...and were to rigid in where we played Canadians and have kept status quo and let a better American go, and played a lesser Canadian where we could have Americanized the spot and upgraded substantially and played a Canadian at a different spot and prob seen minimal to no drop off....and that assbackward way we did things eroded our roster, and has affected how we draft and recruit, tho it seems to maybe have switched a bit this yr....maybe....have to see how the first 3rd of season plays out

Looks like your ride on the Habs bandwagon didn't last long. 😂

Kenny is easily a top 3 receiver in this league and i miss him, but i wouldnt pay him 333K X3.

?..I dont want you anywhere near our GM or SMS if that's the only way you think we could sign Kenny. Good grief. Did anyone state otherwise?

Appears that if MacKinnon isn’t 100 percent healthy the Avs suck. And montreals magic has run out. Carolina Vegas final? Yikes. The ultimate who cares for most nhl fans.

Did you see AJ Allen rate the RB’s lmafao. Talk about rage…

It wasn't a loss - they walked away. Discretion is the better part of valor afterall!

Collaros is not only fighting other teams but also the clock (obviously). He may be able to forestall the inevitable, but no way to tell when he will lose the battle. Bombers already lost a Battle today.

with the threat to take off when teams start to cheat...for big yards

All I ever see from Smith is making plays. Be criminal not to give him reps. Do you not want Canadian play makers?

Yes, but to be fair. He's bounced back from consecutive bad years before. So the question is, can he do it again?

Yeah, I was encouraged by what both qbs showed. I think perkins has a lower ceiling but a very high floor, which should allow Elgersma time to develop to his lofty potential. I'm pretty excited to see both in game two as well. I don't know how we could not look at Andrews, or why we would draft him if he played like that and didn't get strong consideration. Last years punter was a better leg then Sheahan, but Andrews looks like his leg should be in the NFL. He had that monster field position flipping punt but he also had some strong hang time and smoked a few long ones. Yeah it was. Singers a good one, I kind of expect him to sit on the PR and develop at first, but he's talented.

Yep. Plus a little bit of a miraculous physical recover fro zach from more than a couple concussions. Makonzo retires in toronto. Guy just couldn't get/stay healthy. Such a shame.

I truly think Daniels woulda been there if we didn't trade up. He is more a project than anything night now, and is/was not a guy who was gonna step in and be dominant and a difference maker....If we are truly in this mindset that we were gonna start 3 National receivers than the smart move would have with trading up picking the best true receiver and a guy who could actually be a 5th option. And if the brain trust here was under the idea Corcorran was good enough as being the main back-up...god forbid the actual 3rd starter than gimme some of what they were smoking cause I want some We blundered that pick, and again fall into the trap that just cause we have a holdover, who the HC liked for whatever reason then we were solid and good and didnt need to upgrade. Like really how hard is it to scout and recruit a true WR with a skill set that would be good on a CFL field....It's not, but we always tend to get stuck in this loop of coveting certain intangibles that don't translate into legit performers.
